Congratulations Mike on the new ride! :2vrolijk_21:

You've done the foot work on the materials for your seat and you're in good hands with Jim.  I don't think you need my help but if you do......I'm here for you.

A suggestion I might make, though.  Photo all your modifications and put them in one continouis thread.....sort of an on going photo journal.  I didn't do that on my SEEG and in some cases had different threads for different mods.  Down the road when somebody would ask me about this or that, I'd have a hell of a time trying to find it for them.  When it's all in one place, at least you know what thread it's in.  You've seen my thread before but for those that are newer and curious  (and I still think the second photo is one of the best I've ever taken.....my wife hauling all my new stuff to Jim's to get it all put on my bike).....   http://www.cvoharley.com/smf/index.php?topic=40248.0

If I had it to do again, I'd put an index on the first post and keep editing it to refelect what page of the thread each modification is in.  Oh hell.....great idea......why didn't I think of that. :huepfenlol2:   At 49 pages, I don't think I'll be doing that any time soon. :nixweiss:   Although it wouldn't be that difficult to do as you posted each new mod. :2vrolijk_21:   And the thread could be very valuable if/when it comes time to sell your bike.

Triple photo shoot sounds like fun to me.

Jcz love the index idea, you have no idea how many times if been looking for something in your book. Oops I mean thread and had to go back through 20 pages.  I'm small time though I've the adjustable floorboards am doing the seat, led passing lights, headlight and new bars that's about it.  The bike did come with a few touches like the dash pad. Chrome strips in place of the rear reflectors and a Yaffe plate frame, some slip
Ons so I'm pretty happy with it now.  Get a few comfort issues and lighting things worked out oh and the rt side heat oh and

Ah Hell I'll just do the single thread thing.

Congrats on the new bike. We'll have to get together with Ken to do a triple play photo shoot with all three bikes.   :2vrolijk_21:

OH YEAH, Jeremey! We now have Hot Citrus/Antique Gunstock, Ruby Red/Typhoon Maroon, and Slate/Black in our group!  :2vrolijk_21:

MIKE - our weekend trip has been cancelled due to the weather forecast up there. I will be home all day Friday now. Ride over whenever you want, and we'll take a bunch of pics!
Forecast for tomorrow: High 75, Chance of T-storms, 20% chance of precipitation.
